New Computer - What Graphics Card Should I Use?

Man, I sure have a lot of questions about this new computer... Thank goodness you guys know so much...

Anyway, my new computer came with an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9100 "video card", but I have a BFG GeForce 6200 OC that was in my old computer.

Should put that into this computer, or just stick with the integrated card?

Thanks in advance!!

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Believe it or not, the integrated 9100 is probably going to be just a tiny bit more powerful than a 6200. The Desktop 6200 has a theoretical performance of 1,200 or 1,400 Megatexels if you had the overclocked (it really wasn't) version. The Geforce 9100 has a theoretical Megatexel performance of 1,700.

Usually I would say it's a no brainer, a discrete card over an integrated GPU. But that 6200 is a PCI card, not a PCIe card (assuming you are linking to the right card). That'll be like trying to drink an extra thick shake through a swizzle stick. If it truly is a PCI video card, then stick with the integrated 9100.

I was pretty sure that the card I linked to was mine, but after looking at it again, I dunno... In the pics of the card, the part labeled as the "PCI Cardbus Connector" was different from what I remembered. I took my card out of my old case, and sure enough, it's not the same. My card's conenctor is one long part, and then a short part, while the one in the image is one short part, one long part, and then another short part. I took a pic of the card, and a closeup of the conenctor.

OK, then I'll stick with the on-board card. And I just realized that the monitor is a TFT, and that the case has a DVI connection. I'll be powering down and switching over to DVI shortly.

Looks like the old card will be going to The Wife™ for her desktop.

Thanks for the help!

It all depends on the Geek/Nerd Quotient of The Wife™ in question...

P.S. - When told of your comment, she replied with, "It makes it better to see the porn. More detail."

Yeah, I hope to be able to put a card in some time down the road. Gonna be awhile before I might be in a position to be able to do it, though.

Well PCI isn't dead yet. At the very least you have a spare video card that isn't tied to PCIe or AGP that you can swap into a system if the existing video card dies. Good debugging tool.
